Two researchers from the Department of Health offshoot Public Health England published a review on the effects of climate change on vector-borne diseases and headline writers across the world have gone nuts. Apparently Britain is about to be overrun by swarms of malaria ridden mosquitoes.

A quick peruse through the report reveals that even if the researcher’s wild estimation of a 5ºC increase in temperature by 2030 comes to pass, they still think “sustained transmission of the malaria parasite is still unlikely.”
